Best Sonus Faber for 16 sq room. ?

This decribes pretty much why i even think of getting the amatis

The Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario will be happy both in a large and a
small room. The Stradivari, however, requires at least 25 square meters
to be able to perform its whole register.

Regarding dynamics, the Amati Anniversario EASILY outperforms both the
older Amati and the Cremona. The very exclusive Skaaning drivers, made
to Sonus Fabers requirements, and the new filter topology are both
responsible for that.

Like HiFi Choice put it in their initial test of the Amati
Anniversario:

"-Anybody NOT liking the Amati Anniversario must have had their
FUN-button removed long ago."

I think that sums it up quite nicely.

Please get back to me if you have any further questions.

Best regards

Good luck, Tda!

An Amati in each corner with the two ports firing into an horn (the room floor + corner walls)... won't be easy to set up!
Your room is too small for bass and I strongly suggest you gauge the sound by focusing on midbass -- NOT bass (i.e. disregard if you can "hear" 40Hz: focus on if you can "feel" 40Hz, etc).

I just want to emphasize that the Stradivari is NOT for small rooms. That really doesn't work at all! I've heard them in smaller spaces and they sound quite terrible.

They need a big room to do their magic. 25m2 is on the very low end of the scale, I would suggest 35m2 and above, 40-45 and above for really good results, preferably with high ceilings (3m+). These guys need air!

Although I'm sure that the Annis are borderline too big for your room, I will have to say that if you can, go for it. Just in case you have the ability to move to a larger room and you have a technically superior speaker from the getgo.

Along these same lines a recent Great room remodeling project has resulted in my large floorstanders; (Dali MS5) being exiled to a small bedroom for the forseeable future. I was wondering about simply plugging up the bass ports...voila, sealed box design...? The idea is that this would help with bass boom...if not speaker coherence. I know this messes around with the designers intent but hope for a temperary solution till the room situation can be delt with, ala Joey v's oh so pragmatic advice (you know you want em ;-)! The Dali's haven't made it upstairs so I can't comment on the thory yet, although I've heard of some manufacturers offering port plugs with their speakers for "tuning" purposes.
